This is probably the most successful run at Hinge I've ever had. 3 dates set up this weekend, working on a few more numbers. All matches are quite attractive, pipeline is growing
Probably common sense, but
Long messages work, don't try to be too indifferent or funny
As
@Bigpapa mentioned, set up the date first then the number. I find myself giving the number and they text almost immediately
It's pay to play, you will need to send those roses
Always have something ready to the common questions - "What do you like to do"
Always lead the conversation toward a date. You talk about something like food/drink/hobby - use that as a proposal to take them out
Voice Prompt, especially for those whose ethnicity are stereotyped for broken English like myself. Rehearse and execute.
Probably the most important.
HAVE FUN. There will be lows, they will eventually pass don't focus on the outcome. Don't give up or be discouraged. It will bring desperation and reflect through the conversations.
